Arjun Rampal was the sole talking point for me in the movie Rajneeti. What a voice..what a presence..wow, why do we not see him more often in more movies. I hated to see him die even though that came towards the end in this movie.
Otherwise it was just like any other potboiler, a story that we have heard countless times, performances from Manoj Bajpai or Nana Patekar that we have begun to take for granted, the Ranbir and Katrina looks that are way too eye-candy for the mush believers and loads of numbing violence. In all, it has all the ingredients in reasonably good proportions for it to be a critics and box office success, but way too serious for somebody who wants to go to the cinema for 3 hours of mindless fun.
